I dunno but dude what if we get to meet Keith Morrison?

FELIX:

He’s not Dateline gone.

I think.

EMMETT:

He wouldn’t miss practice unless something bad happened.

BRYSON:

Guys, chill. Let’s all just meet at practice and see if he’s there.

DUNCAN:

But what if he’s not.

BRYSON:

Then we’ll form a plan together.

Chapter 37

Someone Call Keith Morrison

Thisisnotgood.Aiden isn’t at his locker when I shove into the room. Bryson and Crosby are in the corner talking with Luke the equipment assistant and Boda Tea shakes his head at me.

We are going to be on fuckingDateline.

Duncan crashes into the room out of breath.

“Dude, did you run here?” Crosby jokes.

“No, I saw him tho!” Duncan gasps.

“Where?” I demand and I pull him up by his shoulders. He’s a professional hockey player for shit’s sake. He should be able to run into a building and not be totally winded.

“He’s locking up his bike outside.”

I leave Duncan and rush out of the room and down the hall. When Aiden steps through the door and takes off his bike helmet I feel tears push against my eyes. I stride towards him with purpose and I wrap my arms around his body.

“Don’t ever do that to me again.” I scold as the tears make my voice thick.

“Do what?” Aiden asks.

“Disappear. I thought I was going to have to sit down with Keith Morrison.”

“FromDateline?” Aiden asks.

“Yes fromDateline. Where the hell were you? I said I was going to pick you up.” I can hear my worry overriding my squadron commander persona. I pull myself together because as captain of this crew it is my job to look after them and bring out their best.

“I couldn’t find Harper.” He says as he hangs his head.

“What?” Because, first Aiden disappeared and that caused my heart to shoot out of my pants but now Harper is missing too?
